The production of protease by isolated aleurone layers of barley in response to gibberellic acid has been examined. The protease arises in the aleurone layer and is mostly released from the aleurone ...

A method has been devised for the detection and measurement of nitrite reductase activity in intact barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) aleurone layers. The technique involves feeding aleurone ...

What if, by adding a couple of cell layers inside a corn kernel, the grain could become significantly richer in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and protein? Such an improvement could benefit ...

URBANA, Ill. – What if, by adding a couple of cell layers inside a corn kernel, the grain could become significantly richer in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and protein? Such an improvement ...

Researchers have uncovered fundamental new information about the malting characteristics of barley grains. They say their finding could pave the way to more stable brewing processes or new malts for ...

Microscopic signatures of malting could help reveal which prehistoric people had a taste for beer. Malting, the first step in brewing beer, erodes cell walls in an outer layer of a grain seed, called ...

A new method for reliably identifying the presence of beer or other malted foodstuffs in archaeological finds is described in a study published May 6, 2020 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by ...
